Tomcast: A Weekly Mixtape Of Independent, Web Released Music

Apologies for the lack of a show last week, but as I explained in the last show I was climbing a mountain in Wales with a bunch of mates.  We also did trampolining underground in a disused slate mine. But you didn’t come here for my outdoor adventure anecdotes, you came for music.  This week … Continue reading TomCast 028: All the indie music! →

My studio/spare room was absolutely sweltering while I recorded this week’s show, my iMac acts as surprisingly good radiator and if I’d have opened the window you probably would have heard the neighbour’s barbecue in full swing. But not one to be bothered by heat, I persevered to bring you 7 great tracks from across … Continue reading TomCast 024: From Punk To EDM →

Following on from last week’s indie rock based show, this week I wanted to turn it up a notch with some heavier tunes.

I’m still having major difficulties with my internet connection, but at least this week I do have one.  Currently I’m running at 1Mb/s download speeds which means it take about 20 minutes to download an album.  A painful experience. Also, I’ve had a fairly hectic and entertaining weekend and I’m feeling a tad fragile today … Continue reading TomCast 018: Back, but not back to normal →

Getting this week’s podcast sorted has caused some issues. My internet died on the day I’d set aside for research and recording so I couldn’t do that at home.  Instead, I bundled my iMac, mic and other peripherals in my car and headed to my parent’s house, only to find that their internet is down … Continue reading TomCast 017: Better Late Than Never →
